Fresh vegetables, herbs and spices are combined in this homemade salsa recipe that is vegetarian, gluten free and only takes 5 minutes to make!
I’m kind of obsessed with making everything from scratch, taco seasoning, marinara sauce, salad dressings, and the list goes on.
I’m not crazy though, I totally understand that most people don’t have the time to make every element of a meal from scratch!
But 5 minutes for fresh, delicious, homemade salsa, now that’s possible! And let’s be honest, when it comes to salsa, half of the time I spend almost 5 minutes just trying to get the lid off the jar!
Don’t laugh, I’m a small girl and those lids are tight! 😉
Jar lid problem be gone! Last week I whipped up this easy salsa recipe to go on top of my Quinoa Crusted Mexican Chicken and the result was so fresh and delicious that I had to share it with all of you!
